Zhong Jianmin, coach of the Hong Kong Mountain Climbing Federation, pointed out that although there are many mountain roads in the area of ​​Sham Chung Bay and Shiwu Mountain, they are generally not difficult to walk. The weather in Hong Kong has been fine and suitable for hiking recently, but it is cool in the morning and evening. If you spend the night on the mountain, you are prone to low temperature I understand that many Hong Kong people want to take their children hiking to get some fresh air while exercising. But before setting off, you must explain the location and route to your family. In the event of an accident, your family can explain to the rescuers and narrow down the search scope.

As for parents who want to take their children who need special care to hike mountains, such as mentally handicapped or autistic, when the children are adults or are relatively strong, parents should not only take care of themselves, but also spend energy and time looking after their children. It's too ideal, but if you don't know the mountain roads well, the situation will be even more dangerous.

Therefore, he suggested that such parents must arrange several relatives and friends who have hiking experience and familiarity with the route to go with them, so that everyone can take care of each other, and if there is an accident, they can be rescued in time.

Some netizens posted on Facebook to search for a father and son suspected of going missing in Xingshan.
